she plays certain roles well, but for the most part they are all the same...an angsty, huffy teenager that flips her hair around (with the exception of cake eaters). i think acting in a play is completely different than a movie/tv show and only true actors can pull it off. right now, i can't see it happening..unless they write a bella-type character for her, but possibly in the future...when she's had time to get over this awkward phase she's in.

I can't believe people still put Kristen down with all the talentless skanks in Hollywood today.
She's the real deal. Love her.

Well, I love the girl like no other actress before. I wish I could adopt her. However the theatre actors are a special breed . Only recently you see them on Broadway. The Broadway itself is surprised how many of them can act on stage. Stage actors are unique and somehow more outgoing(talented?) than film actors.
They earn they money hard way. I am the one the clap for them the longest and sceam and wave and give compliments. There is no room for the slightest mistake, pause, sneeze.
The circus actors(yes, they are actors and artists ) are my favorite.
Kristen will be better with films, I am afraid she wold get nervous in front of crowds. Is is not a big deal for a movie actor but the theatre is a different breed.
So, my answer would be, no , darling, stay with movies. I love her in "Adventureland" Great movie, the best romance of 2009 by the Rotten Tomato poll. Everybody after 17 should see it. The best film in youth category. geart cast of talented young people.

I didn't see a box to check that said, she has no right being famous at all and should just stop it all together. So I just said no.

Uhm @34: she said, I loved her in the Cake Eaters. That's positive. So I don't know where your rant is coming from? Everyone says she is talented. That has to come out eventually, because she already acting for what 10 maybe 12 years. So after all those years of experience and still not being considered a really good actress, maybe she is not as talented as people say she is.
I think she's got a lot of work to do before she can deliver a stage performance. Her acting is too stiff at the moment. But maybe a diffrent roll (so not an awkward troubled teenage girl), might take her to the next level.

@ 31
No one drank Hater-Aide people are just stating their opinions about her as an actress. For you she is a great actress but for others she is not. So stop pretending that everyone who says something not in her favour immediately is jealous or wants Robert Pattinson. Please some people don't even like him and others can actually form a coherent sentence to be jealous of someone who cannot. Plus the poll asked for peoples opinions about whether or not she would be good at theatre. So people are doing exactly that stating their opinion. This is not a poll about how great she is.

#20 and #31, I 100% agree with you! one has nothing to do with the other what so ever and Broadway would be a good place for Kristen to work on her stage presence
it is not as big a crowd and only real people who understand theater and the art get to judge her and she will be constantly working on the same piece most every night and that will help build her self confidence and help her grow and mature in the art of film and movies. I have had the pleasure of meeting ms. Stewart and for all that don't like her, 65 -75 percent do, including me and the movers and the shakers in the industry and that is all that really matters! she will be great and a lot of us see that in her and she in nothing but nice if you know her and very smart as well! she is young and beautiful inside and out and I wish her all the success and happiness! and her boyfriend is as hot as most think and say! she must be doing something right from what I have seen of them both! love you Kristen! #21 I think your the serious one because the cake eaters was absolutely a wonderful portrayal of a degenerative disease that will eventually end in death and only a true actress who studied the real life disease would know exactly how to play that part and she was dead on with it!

Some people must have drank Hater-Aide today!! I think Kristen is a very talented actress. She has been in movies since she was a young child and is still acting. Obviously, directors and producers find that she has talent or she would not be chosen for such good roles, such as The Cake Eaters, Panic Room, Into The Wild, and others. I am a teacher and I teach children all day long and have no problem speaking to them. But let me get in front of my colleagues and have to present something at a faculty meeting and I start shaking and can barely get out the words. have a hard time speaking in front of 50 teachers, much less getting up and speaking in front of thousands, with people yelling and knowing that every word, cough, or sound I make will be scrutinized and plastered over every magazine and on every talk show or tabloid trash rag! Give her a break!! No one is putting a gun to your head to watch her movies or anything she is associated with!!As my wise grandmother once said, "If you don't have anything good to say about someone, don't say anything at ALL!!"

I think some of you don't quite understand the meaning of "acting". It is an entirely different character you're portraying and any nerve-wrecking feeling you might have of going on stage and speech in front of a crowd will disappear, since you're not being yourself. So not being able to accept an award or something has nothing to do with it whatsoever.
Anywho, I'd love to see her in a theatre production, it would be great for her to broaden her acting experience and try it on stage.

errrr, she can't even accept an award on stage w.out it being awkward and weird! How the eff is she going to pull off a whole live performance? People need to stop looking up to her because she's that glorified "bella" and start seeing her for whatever form of talent she is.

I think she can act I have both The Messengers and Panic Room and she was great in both of them. I think Kristen can do what ever she puts her mind to and who knows maybe she uses this awkwardness to stay out of the limelight.

You just know this rumor has got to be fake. The girl can't even accept an award on stage. How the hell would she manage an entire play? And it's funny how all the actors they mentioned who've done work on the West End are British, like that is comparable to an American working there.

@23 Hi there, I'll be at LAFF too. My group of friends have planned to go since WTTR was announced. We even get more excited when they said Kristen, Mellisa Leo and director Jake Scott will be present.

I love to see her trying new thing. She is a good actress, she can do Broadway. I'm looking forward to On The Road, the book is amazing and very well-known.

I met Kristen twice, New Moon premiere and The Runaways premiere. She is shy but very nice with fans. She signed autograph as much as she could. She stayed behind even though her team kept telling her it was time to go. Don't believe in what you read in the tabloids or in what haters bashes her. You will be surprised to see how nice and beautiful she is in person. And yes, she does have great legs :)
